Sep 23, 2024    Stephan Oldham, Greg Harris

In this episode though we are missing our friend Brent, we do continue to talk about friendship! We seek to look at the idea of middle groups and why they're so important to creating friendships, and how the church can fulfill them.

Then we also answer some questions from you all.
